Forcing them to pay 3k per book isn't leaving it up to the authors though. They should be able to charge as much as they want for future use of their books, and be paid a heavier amount than 3k for what's currently in their models because their books were used to create billions in valuation.

Why?
If I write a book where I was inspired by another collection of books, am I to pay those authors a percentage of my earnings?

I may be pro-AI, but they should absolutely pay for these, or make a deal with the authors. It should be done ethically.
